Stock brake pad break in?
Any type of break-in procedures? The pads jst do not seem to stop that well; bled twice and definately got all air out. any kind of procedures to mate the pads to the rotors?
The best way to break in pads is to do a series of 40-2 mph stops. All in a row, and then drive the car around a little bit to let the brakes cool. During the initial break in period, do not fully stop the car. After your'e done drive real easy before you park, this allows the brakes to cool down with out having the pad stay in one place on the rotor. Do no heavy braking for the first couple hundred miles, unless you have to.
Straightforward for a street pad.
Do 4-6 deccelerations from 40-45mph down to 10-15mph in a row using moderate brake pedal pressure. Drive around easy for 10 minutes or so to let things cool down, then just park the car...you're done!
Street pads don't require a very aggressive bedding process, as compared to track/race pads. Likewise, they are not as sensitive to bedding-in either.
